INTERVIEW: Union Strong with Dani Fernandez - a podcast by But Why Tho? the podcast

from 2023-07-19T06:02

:: ::

The WGA has been on strike for almost 80 days, just 20 shy of how long the strike of 2007-2008 lasted, and as of last week, SAG-AFTRA joined the picket line as the AMPTP refused to concede in contract negotions. To say that this is a watershed moment is some how not strong enough. As the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike to ensure fair wages and working conditions and protect their craft from AI, we wanted to do a very special episode to talk about what you can do to help support the unions working for a better life. 

We're joined by WGA/SAG-AFTRA member Dani Fernandez to discuss what's at stake, the importance of unions and to focus answer some questions as to what is on the line. 

 

What can you do? 

  1. Boost the message of the unions on social media
  2. Follow strike rules for the WGA (wgacontract2023.org/strike/strike- and SAG-AFTRA (sagaftrastrike.org/non-member-faqs)
  3. Donate to the Entertainment Community fund (entertainmentcommunityfund.org)
  4. Join a picket line
